New York (UN) - A photography exhibition highlighting the contribution of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) in world's humanitarian action under the UN peacekeeping missions was inaugurated on Tuesday at the UN headquarters in New York.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson, Dmitry Titov, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions (Department of Peacekeeping Operations), UN Deputy Humanitarian Chief Kyung-wha Kang, and  Adama Dieng, United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, as well as ambassadors accredited to the UN.

The event is organized by the Moroccan representation under the theme "Morocco's international humanitarian action", and mirrors, according to Eliasson,  Morocco's commitment to humanitarian action for decades.

Eliasson also paid tribute to HM King Mohammed VI for the Kingdom's mobilization and contribution to this lofty cause, lauding Morocco's continued commitment to peacekeeping operations.
 

The photo exhibition, which runs until Nov. 15, highlights contribution of the Moroccan contingents deployed under the UN peacekeeping operations in different conflict zones such as in Congo, Somalia, Angola, Cote d’Ivoire, Cambodia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Haiti.
